Not all the time are the best tennis matches a battle of wills. Some matches are intriguing to watch because of contrast in playing styles. Singles tournaments are always a good chance to see this & witness many different ways to play the game of tennis.

In 2014, then University of Hawaii men's player Nils Schumann represented the Rainbow Warriors proudly as he was primed to make a deep run into the Royal Lahaina Challenger Wildcard event. The 7th seed's extreme Western grip & heavy topspin game would prove to be a challenge for some players to deal with in past events. His first opponent of the Wildcard tournament would be then Head Pro (& now Director of Tennis) of the Kailua Racquet Club Jared Carstenn. Normally a veteran on the doubles court or the golden voice behind the mic, Jared decided that he'd put his name in the singles pot at the Oahu Club & give it a shot against some of Hawaii's top singles players. With his lightning fast reflexes & serve & volley game, Jared would wow the audience with every point he played as he dueled it out with the division 1 baseliner on the other side of the net. This would be a battle of playing styles that was an eye-catcher that night One thing's for sure, these two guys enjoyed themselves in this matchup!
